As i was smoking my cig on top floor of a riad inside medina, Marrakech, contemplating the view on Atlas moutains and snowy peaks, I saw then the view i had "above" the street and the interesting scene that was taking place with this falling sun and shadows. Clic clic, while smoking, kind of sniper for this shot, i wait till i saw this mother and daughter with red wall texture ...
hope you like it
Have a good week ! :-)

Everything has come together here; your inventive choice of viewpoint, the colouful wall, your timing and of course the strong low-angled light which has rewarded you with those amazing long shadows.
Your timing was spot-on here, with the mother and daughter just entering the frame, and with no cropping of their shadows. Great pre-visualisation.
This is one of your best, Sebastien, a superb piece of work.

this is a masterpiece seb... perfect timing, great pov, magical compo... it would have been even better without the superimposed shadow on the little girl's... the colour and the texture on the wall are exceptional as well... a real good job, congrats...

Hello Sebastien. This is a fantastic photo with concise graphic elements, colors and forms. The shade throw is much astonishing. In addition the photo is outstanding composed. Perfectly. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Sebsstien, I see what you're intending. Once we had the movie "The english patient" and you're suggesting now "The french photographer". First one was a pilot and it seems that latter is a pilot too. I can't imagine any other possibility for you to have gotten this exquisite POV. Stunning!!! Nothing else to say.
I would like to join you at your next vacation and smoke some cigar too and occasionally ... click click

And they say that smoking is not good for your health! Hell, it's wonderful for your pictures! :))) It's a great shot Sebastien! Very well seen and better executed. The red wall, the giant shadows, the beautiful light. It's a truly remarkable photo.

Hi Sebastien,
A very good top down shot well seen!
The long shadows are excellent while the two persons are very small. The colors are beautiful as well. It looks like the persons are walking straight up the wall, perfectly taken straight from above or did you do some perspective correction in PP?
Very well done!

Hello Sebastien,
Again your eye for nice compositions working on this one. From so simple subjects you made this photo look great, even more if we relate it with your title choice.
I like a lot these huge shadows on the ground, and the POV.
Cheers.

Hi Sebastien, I read that you had a mini series on light & shadow going so I had to look & this photo is just as good as your latest, the POV is perfect & shows off the shadow wonderfully well, I love these long shadows & the composition here is fabulous, obviously great light & beautiful timing, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Sebastien. Clic clic, puff puff. I can just see it in my minds eye ;). Well seen and well captured. Great composition and excellent POV. Colour, detail, texture, pattern, all good also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Wonderful work! What incredible shadow, the wall, ah, this is very unique Seb, I have to put it right into my next batch of favs, love the composition and colours so much. What's most amazing is that the shadows appear real and the real like the shadow's shadow... superb!
take care

Great photo. Many people wait to take this kind of shot for years and you did it while smoking ;))) Surrealistic but fantastic POV that gives 2 photographs in one. It's almost as if you captured world of shadows and simultaneously in the same photo world of men.

Hi Sebastien,
I am still in your photos of Morocco. I cannot comment the new ones without finishing this section because I find this group of pictures fascinating. This one is really interesting. So well caught, perfect timing with the shadows. I love the colours and the textures. I cannot wait to go and visit. I hope the colours there are as you present them here :) Thanks for sharing so enjoyable shots.
Salut,
Andre
